lyrics

IN THE NEW DARK AGE (the only lamp burning bright is you)
words/music: bill mallonee

All the dominoes fell
we went under a spell
and all hell. broke. loose.
Everything you held dear
when the dust finally cleared
it was just as you feared

Chorus:
In the new dark age
Nobody puts up a fight
In the new dark age
You'll see no flares in the night
The only lamp burning bright...is you

All the mask came off
All disguises were dropped
The game was declared over
Love was escorted out
There was hardly a shout
I'll take the crimson & clover

We're all mystics & freaks
With the spirit beneath
Deeper than any ocean
Let the string section "riff"
Seal it up with a kiss
Honey, we are all golden

In the new dark age
no one trusts anyone
In the new dark age
they forget to have fun
The only light from the sun...is you
In the new dark age
nobody puts up a fight
In the new dark age
you'll see no flares in the night
The only lamp burning bright...is you
The only lamp burning bright...is you
